Fwd: Re: Stable Kontact client for Kolab3

[Kolab Users]

Hi,

We support a lot of MS Outlook clients (thousands) and from our 
experience OST's should never exceed 2GB.

What we've found is that when they do, they become prone to corruption 
and need constant repair work. After this occurs, we recommend to our 
clients to have multiple OST's between 1Gb to 2Gb.

We almost never see an OST corruption when it's under 2Gb in size.
